JIAN YUAN ZHEN, Petitioner, v. Eric H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent, 401 F. App'x 188

MEMORANDUM Jian Yuan Zhen, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Zhen’s third motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than six years after the BIA’s March 12, 2003, order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must generally be filed within 90 days of the final order), and Zhen failed to establish that he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 894 (deadline can be equitable tolled “when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
